I have the users move spam to an imap folder, and then run (via the user's

If something is flagged as spam and it's not supposed to be, I have them
copy it to the ham folder and I run (also via cron job):
sa-learn --mbox --ham /home/[username]/mail/spam

Hopefully this is just a typo in your email, but the above line trains
your spam folder as if it's ham. That could easily cause your screwed-up
bayes scores.

It was a typo, sorry. I have a cron job that uses --spam against the
spam folder, and --ham against the ham folder. I just copied and pasted
poorly. This is the actual script for my account:
[thomas.cameron@mail-east ~]$ cat bin/spamcheck
#!/bin/bash
sa-learn --progress --spam --mbox /home/thomas.cameron/mail/INBOX/spam
sa-learn --progress --ham --mbox /home/thomas.cameron/mail/INBOX/ham
Bayes tests for other messages, like the one you sent me, looks like this:

The previous email I copied headers from as an example was just a bad
example. Usually Bayes is /pretty/ accurate on my system. I only used
that one because it was a message which made it through SpamAssassin. I
was trying to demonstrate that the checks were not failing, as suggested
in an earlier comment.
Thanks for catching that, though. I have made silly mistakes like that
so I appreciate you checking me.
